A new compilation album in the works

Following the enormous success of Crap-Tel’s first two compilation albums (“A Call to Arms” and “Songs Called Jump”), Matty Milner and I have decided that we need to release a third installment.

This new compilation is tentatively titled “Purse Your Lips: The World’s Greatest Whistling Songs”.

We have a few hits lined up, but we need your help. Please tell us your favourite whistling ditties and help make this the biggest and best Crap-Tel release so far.

The beginning of our tracklisting:

Jealous Guy/John Lennon or Bryan Ferry

Love in Motion/Icehouse

Patience/Guns ‘n’ Roses

Winds of Change/The Scorpions

Alpha Beta Gaga/Air

So as you can see, we need your help. Let’s hear it people. We want whistling, and we want it now.

    Looks like maybe we're a little late here people... [url=http://www.ksharpie.com/index.php]http://www.ksharpie.com/index.php[/url]

    "This Album cruises from the get-go, reshaping musical favorites from mainstream sources into beautiful nursery rhymes for royalty and the high class."

    How do you compete with that? I mean Smells Like Teen Spirit, for Christ's sake!

    a kinda similar whistlin' tune to civil war would be that bon jovi one from young guns II - you know the one that goes "take me oouuuutttttt in a blaaaaazzzzeeee of glooooorrrrrreeeeeey" where jon bon jovi holds a guitar in the film clip and doesn't play it most of the time and when he does it sounds like a banjo. Oh that's right it's called blaze of glory. And I suppose they're referencing [obliquely] the theme from A Fistful of Dollars (i think) scored by Ennio Morricone. You know the one I mean, it does "do do do".

    At the risk of the compilation becoming dominated by G'n'F'n'R's, one can't go past the intro to 'Civil War'.

    Don't make me cut a dog in half, Perthlings.

    ROOOAAAARRRR!

    I'm gonna eat your bony bones, Skeletor!

    <Whimper> I'm scared!

    Good luck selling your "Best Of" compilation, what, with only 6 tracks on it, it should be a surefire cure for the blues...

    Oh yes, and Hordak if you'd please return my text messages - there's the small matter of what we intend to do with Orca...:winky wink emoticon:
  • fancy dave
    Billy Joel - "The Stranger".
    I think that's a rival for Otis, but maybe just 'cos it goes right from soft piano and whistling into coked-up 70's stlye dirty guitar disco.

    My ten cents worth... at least the only ten I've got on me at the moment.
  • KL
    Thank you, Hordak. That is an insightful suggestion. How nice to have an intelligent visitor, rather than yet another of Blazin' Billy's schizoid personalities.
  • Hordak
    'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay' - Otis Redding. Best whistling bit ever.
  • KL
    "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" is a good one, but maybe we should save that for the "Gits With Annoying Accents" compilation, featuring every Proclaimers tune ever, and also the Cranberries and The Corrs.
  • B-Diddy DubSac
    "Groove In Da Heart" - Deelite

    "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" - That MuthaPhukkin Corkney Bastard!

    "Hitler - Has Only Got One Ball" - Artist Unknown

    "Theme From He-Man" - DJ Cringer

    "Who Let The Dogs Out/Accapella/Whistling Rmx" - Da Baha Girlie Men

    Seriously, it gets pretty desperate after Scorpions who practically dominate this topic...


    I think you should also research into starting a compilation [b] "Plea For Clemency" [/b] as in, please god (sic), save me from this absolute tripe!

  • badger
